Summary
On a hot Sagittarian morning in the year 56 ATF, Trafford Sewell struggles to work through the usual crowds of near-naked commuters. He is confronted by the intimidating figure of his Parish Confessor. Why has Trafford not been streaming his every moment of sexual intimacy onto the community website like everybody else? Does he think he's different or special in some way? Better than his fellow man and woman? Does he have something to hide?
Ben Elton's dark, savagely comic novel imagines a post-apocalyptic society where religious intolerance combines with a confessional, sex obsessed, self-centric culture to create a world where nakedness is modesty, ignorance is wisdom, and privacy is a dangerous perversion. A chilling vision of what's to come? Or something rather closer to what we call reality?

bit underwhelming
I thought this book might be more dark humour than the heavy-handed overt caution regarding antivax and antiscience movements in general. bit disappointed actually.

Interesting Fable
Of our time, I found the themes obviously reminiscent of 1984, yet tweaked for our current social media and Tv obsessions, esp Love Island and Big Brother.
I couldn't disagree more on the narration, with the other reviewer. Mr Maloney invests the characters with real personality, and reads with wit and intelligence.

Abridged
Very disappointed to realise I bought an abridged version of my all time favourite book.

Oh Dear...This was awful
I have read Ben Elton a few times before and really liked the books. This one however was absolutely awful. A bit like 1984 (which I loved) but not nearly as enjoyable, or believable for that matter, certainly not in the league of George Orwell. The narration was also terrible and this probably added to the misery I endured, his voice was so loud and booming that no matter how low I turned the volume my ears were still ringing...to emphasise what he was saying his voice seemed to boom out across the speakers. I have to say I feel this was a complete waste of my money.
